Idiom story

During the Three Kingdoms period, the confrontation between Wei, Shu and Wu lasted for a long time, and finally was unified by Jin. At first, Wu and Shu united to fight against Cao Wei, but later, there was a conflict between Wu and Shu, and the eastern Wu killed Guan Yu, the general of Shu, and captured Jingzhou. Liu Bei was furious. He launched 700000 soldiers across the country down the river to fight against the east Wu. "If you don't catch Sun Quan and cut off his head, you can't avenge my brother! " it is the so-called" victory in sorrow ". The Shu army, with a feeling of grief and indignation, was invincible and hit Zigui at once. Fearing that he could not resist Liu Bei, Soochow planned to unite with the state of Wei and chose a minister who was very eloquent and talented to ask Zhao Zi to go to the state of Wei. At that time, the state of Wei was the reign of Cao Pi, Emperor Wen of Wei. Someone said to Cao Pi in advance: "it is said that Zhao Zi is an important talent in Soochow. Soochow sent him here to tell you something important. "Cao Pi thought," I'll try him. He ordered all the warriors in the palace to take out their swords and guns, and then passed on the imperial edict, declaring Zhao to enter the palace. As soon as Zhao saw the situation, he understood. Although he is a literati, he has courage and sense. He has no fear of life and death. He walked calmly from the swords. After paying homage to Cao Pi, he said, "I am entrusted by the Lord of our country to come here to discuss a national event with the king of Wei. "Zhao Zi wanted to get to the point immediately, but Cao Pi didn't ask him about state affairs. First, he asked him," what's your name? "My name is Zhao Zi. "You must be an important minister under Sun Quan, otherwise how can I send you to our country? "I'm not an important minister. I just do a little thing for our Lord. "I heard that Sun Quan, the Duke of the eastern Wu Dynasty, was blue eyed and bearded. He never studied. Do you have this? "Cao Pi wanted to belittle the Duke of the east Wu first. However, as soon as he finished, Zhao Zi said, "King Wei, why do you say that? Our Lord manages everything every day. As the king of a country, he has no leisure time from morning till night. Nevertheless, after he had dealt with the Korean Chinese Affairs, he refused to release the documents. "As you say, what does your Lord know after reading so many books? "King Wei, our Lord is in charge of tens of thousands of ships, millions of troops, and countless civil servants and military generals in the eastern Wu Dynasty. This is a great learning in itself. The books he read include the book of five sons' War, the book of governing the country, the book of being a man, and the book of self-cultivation. If he did not know the contents of these books, he would not be able to govern such a big country as Soochow. "Cao Pi said," you really can speak for your Lord. But as far as I know, you're here for the state of Wei, right? I've heard that Liu Bei has set up his army and declared war on you. Did your Lord send you here for fear that Liu Bei would destroy him, or that I would send another army to destroy Soochow? "King Wei, you are not right. Our Lord is not afraid that someone will send troops to destroy him. In the east Wu Dynasty, there are a long river and a million Jiashi. Moreover, our Lord knows how to use people, such as Lu Meng and Lu su. They are all models of knowing people and doing good work. There are many officers and men in the eastern Wu Dynasty, who are not afraid of other people's invasion. I am entrusted by my Lord to come here to analyze the general situation of the world. "When Cao Pi heard this, he was really a talented person. So Cao Pi asked, "how many talents are there in your Soochow? "King Wei, people like me are not worth mentioning. In Soochow, there are 80 or 90 people who can be regarded as extraordinary talents alone. For people like me, there are countless cars. "Cao Pi laughed and appreciated him very much.
